Reconciliation?

Said Ramesh Ponnuru in The Corner today,

Even people who think Romney as veep makes sense think McCain probably won't go for it because he dislikes the man. Maybe they're right. But my sense is that McCain disliked Bush after 2000 a lot more than he dislikes Romney now, and he got over that. He would have less time to do so before picking a veep, but it's not as though he is psychologically incapable of looking past his personal history with someone.

I didn't expect a Romney offer either, but I'm not so sure, now. Senator McCain has a way of leaving personal enemies in his wake, and I count myself as a minor one. Inviting Mr. Romney could be understood as a signal that McCain wants to rise above past personal enmities as president. And, because of his age, McCain must know that the party will be expecting his VP nominee to be the front runner in 2012. Doubly so, if elected.

Not that I'd vote for a McCain-Romney ticket. I've already washed my hands of McCain and I'm not picking him back up. I might reconsider for a cabinet position though...
